Get to know your neighbours – and win!

Peet is encouraging residents and purchasers in its communities to support Neighbour Day on Sunday 27 March 2011 and get to know the people next door or across the street.

Nearly 60 per cent of Australians don’t know their neighbours, but Neighbour Day is the perfect time to change that. Neighbour Day is Australia’s annual celebration of community, bringing people together to share a meal, a cuppa or simply a quick chat.

Peet has some great ideas on how you can get to know your neighbours. Click here to download information on how you can become better acquainted with who lives next door or across the road and enjoy your community even more.

Do you already go the extra mile to help your neighbours and make your community a better place? Peet wants to know what being a great neighbour means to you in your community. Simply send your name, contact details and answer to community@peet.com.au and you could win a luxury gourmet gift hamper!

The competition is open to residents and purchasers at Peet communities only and entries must be received by no later than 27 March 2011.

If you’re not a resident or purchaser at a Peet community yet – you still have a chance to win a bottle of fine champagne by telling us what being a great neighbour means to you! Email us at community@peet.com.au for your chance to win.

Reduce, recycle and WIN!

Thousands of residents and purchasers in Peet communities are being encouraged to support National Recycling Week 2010 which kicks off on Monday 8 November 2010.

You can make your mark by organising a Friday File Fling at home or at the office,  joining in an Aussie Swap Party or by learning more about how to recycle right all year round. Look online at www.recyclingweek.planetark.org to find an event near you and for a raft of other information about environmentally-friendly recycling habits.

Meanwhile, the Peet team across Australia is joining in by participating in the national Friday File Fling on 12 November – recycling paper and other office materials that might otherwise be destined for the bin.

To encourage our residents across Australia to join the recycling rage this November too, residents and purchasers in Peet communities across Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland are being offered the chance to win a luxury weekend away for two at an eco-resort!*

If you’re a resident or purchaser, simply make a recycling pledge or tell us what you already do to recycle at home or in your community, for your chance to win!   Your entry can be as simple or elaborate as you please!

Make sure you email your response, along with your name, address, telephone number and the Peet community in which you live or are building, to community@peet.com.au.  

The competition is open to Peet residents and purchasers only and entries must be received by no later than 21 November 2010.

Now in its 15th year, National Recycling Week will run from Monday 8 November to Sunday 14 November 2010.   So take up the challenge and recycle at home, school and work!

Did you know? Household batteries contain toxic metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead, which can be harmful to the environment when disposed of to landfill.

Playtime even better with The Rise's support

Playtime at the Wyndham Little Buddies Toy Library is now even more enjoyable thanks to new toys courtesy of The Rise – one of Peet Limited’s growing communities in Tarneit.

The Rise, together with Tarneit Gardens and Innisfail Estate in Point Cook, has provided funding for the purchase of new toys through Peet’s Community Sponsorship Program.

The Wyndham Little Buddies Toy Library provides families with children up to the age of five with affordable access to a varied selection of safe and age-appropriate toys that can help preschoolers learn and develop through play.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the Company was pleased to be supporting Little Buddies.

“The Little Buddies Toy Library provides a valuable resource to local families,” said Mr Gore.

“The sponsorship provided by the Tarneit Gardens, The Rise and Innisfail communities will help to provide more toys that enhance the children’s learning and play time.

“The volunteers who run the library work hard to provide children with quality educational toys and we are pleased to be supporting them.”

The Wyndham Little Buddies Toy Library has been providing local families with access to a wide range of quality toys for many years. The library’s first branch – in Kookaburra Avenue in Werribee – has been in operation for 13 years, and the Point Cook branch, located in the Point Cook Community Centre, opened in September 2009.

The Library’s Werribee branch is just a short drive away from Peet’s communities at The Rise and Tarneit Gardens, and the Point Cook branch is just minutes away from Innisfail.

Kathryn Saunders, Wyndham Little Buddies Toy Library Treasurer, thanked Peet for its support.

“Peet’s contribution is the single largest donation by a private company to the Toy Library since it opened,” said Mrs Saunders.

“The funds will enable us to provide an even better range of new toys for the 250 families who are members of the library.”

Enquiries relating to Toy Library membership can be directed to the Little Buddies coordinator on 0434 863 570.

For more information on homesites at The Rise, call Sales Representative Michael Sciaraffa on (03) 9748 9410 or visit the Sales Office at 19 Hummingbird Boulevard (off Tarneit Road), Tarneit.

Santa spreads Christmas cheer across Tarneit and Innisfail

Hundreds of residents at Peet Limited’s Tarneit Gardens, The Rise and Innisfail communities were given a cool start to the festive season with an unusual visit from Santa!

Trading in his sleigh for a Mr Whippy van, Santa toured each of the communities handing out free ice-creams and candy canes, and spreading Christmas cheer.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said Santa’s visit to the Peet communities was a terrific way to share the festive spirit.

“It was good to see so many of the residents – and especially the children – come out and share in the celebrations,” said Mr Gore.

Marking the festive season was another occasion for residents to get to know their neighbours, and simply enjoy the areas of open space that have been created to provide the opportunity for plenty of relaxation and recreation.

These Christmas celebrations are part of a wider community engagement program designed to support the vibrant, growing communities at Peet’s three established estates within the City of Wyndham.

Tarneit Gardens, The Rise and Innisfail have each been carefully planned to ensure a wide variety of lot sizes are available to suit the needs of Wyndham’s rapidly expanding population.
